Follow up on Exped vs. Lambda Platform
500 mile trips. Hauling kayaks, bikes, and stuff for the twins, the Eddie gets better with age. Pile on the payload and it still rides level. Being 6'6" it's the only vehicle I can move the seats up & still fit. Mileage is amazing - getting 20 mpg (3.31 rear end)highway doing the speed limit. Overall Average 16-18 mpg. DVD keeps the twins entertained, while the NAV gets us where we go. No complaints, no regrets. Looking to purchase a travel trailer and the 9K pound capability expands our choices. If you're thinking cross over platform the Expedition is a better choice.

Long lasting SUV; the last of the rugged haulers
The 2007-2014 expeditions are the best I have found! The best feature is the massive towing capacity. My 08' has a towing capacity of 9200lbs (2wd). Next, the absolute best 3rd row out there. Recently drove a new GMC Denali Yukon XL and the third row was too low, not as long, and not as comfortable. The fold flat feature makes hauling in the vehicle a breeze. I have 171k Mike's on mine and it is still going strong. While I have had maintenance, no engine or transmission issues at all. I primarily use this vehicle to tow and long trips. This is a very comfortable ride. I love the steering (vs looser truck steering). Truly a beast. I have been looking at the newer expeditions, but can't leave behind my tried and true v8 model. I'm going to keep this one until it dies.... Update 09/20. Sold my 08 expedition with over 180k and was still running strong. Upgraded to a 2011 with less miles. Just a few extra features added. Love my expedition!

Really Great Truck
My wife and I purchased the fully loaded Limited in Jan 2008. We have almost 50k on the truck now and I have to say it's one of my favorite cars I've ever owned. For the most part there have been no problems until recently. If you know Ford - you know they have electrical issues. My GPS system broke, but I had the extended warranty so it cost me $100 deductible. Also had problems with the gears on the windows (they would move up/down really slow or not at all in extreme heat/cold. Overall though it's been an amazing truck and when compared to the Tahoe it was an easy decision. Especially with the auto fold flat seats in the 3rd row. I would highly recommend this truck.
Impressed!
Narrowed my search down to new Sequoia and the Expedition based on the fold flat 3rd row seats and need for V8 for towing purposes. After comparing the 2 vehicles, I was able to get a comparibly equipped Expy for 12K less than a Sequoia. And, the Expy has a smooth 6 speed transmission and surprisingly I have 2K miles on it and trip computer is saying 16.4 mpg. Hands down the best bang for the buck in the large SUV segment. Buy it and use the extra $12k savings vs the Sequoia to pay for gas for the next 5 years! Also, settle for the smaller standard tires and you will get better gas mileage.
